Erling Haaland has become one of the biggest stars in world soccer. The Norway star currently making his mark on the World Cup is known for an extraordinary goal-scoring ability, imposing 6-foot-5 frame, silly social media personality — and a seemingly endless appetite.

The Manchester City striker has been reported to consume around 6,000 calories every day during periods of intense training and competition. Much of that comes from simple, protein-rich meals sourced from some of his favorite farms, delis and butchers around Manchester.

I decided to find out what eating like a Viking is really like.

Our first stop was breakfast.

The order was straightforward but substantial: Four scrambled eggs, two thick slices of sourdough toast, a large bowl of Greek yogurt and berries and a black coffee with a splash of maple syrup.

It was plenty filling, but Haaland has also spoken about drinking raw milk, so I washed down the already substantial breakfast with a bottle of the rich, creamy beverage.

By lunchtime, I was already questioning my life choices. But the mission was just beginning.

We headed to Haaland’s favorite Italian deli, Ad Maiora, where they’ve even named a sandwich after him.

“The Haaland” has Parma ham, burrata, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and truffle oil, all stuffed into a fresh flatbread that’s about a foot long.

The struggle was real.

But dinner was still looming, and causing the most anxiety. Haaland loves a large steak.

We visited the local butcher in Cheshire, an area outside Manchester where a number of famous footballers live. At The Cheshire Smokehouse, Wayne the butcher told us Haaland stops by to purchase many of his steaks, as well as venison, because it’s naturally lean and lower in cholesterol.

But I wasn’t there to take the sensible option. If it was going to be the full Haaland experience, it had to be a giant steak.

That evening, we headed to the Hawksmoor steakhouse, where the huge slabs of beef are seared over charcoal. We were told Haaland regularly orders bone marrow as an accompaniment, so that’s how I kicked off the meal.

On an already full stomach, with no bread or wine to ease its path, the marrow almost proved to be my breaking point.

Then the steak arrived.

A beautifully charred, perfectly medium-rare porterhouse weighing an astonishing 2.6 pounds.

I gave it everything I had. But eventually, I had to admit defeat.

Eating like one of the world’s best soccer players is a lot harder than it looks. But then, I’m not a 25-year old professional athlete burning thousands of calories a day.

I’m a 30-something mom of three who tried to keep up with one, for just 24 hours.

The experience brought a new appreciation for the extraordinary physical demands on elite athletes. All that meat and no wine?!

Haaland has captivated fans around the world with his goals, his personality and his larger-than-life presence. Norway’s success thus far in the World Cup has shown a global audience that, whether it’s scoring goals or clearing dinner plates, few people can keep up with “The Striking Viking.”

Man partially sucked out of broken Ryanair plane window during flight, fellow passenger says

July 10, 2026 / 12:17 PM EDT / CBS/AFP

Thessaloniki, Greece — A man was nearly sucked out the window of a Ryanair flight when it “detached” midair en route to Germany, with other passengers pulling him back inside, a witness told Greek media on Friday.

The passenger, described as a tourist from Serbia on a flight from Thessaloniki in Greece to Memmingen in Germany, was hospitalized with friction burns but was otherwise in good condition, authorities said. The Associated Press quoted an unnamed Greek hospital official as saying the 61-year-old man was treated for neck and shoulder injuries and friction burns.

“Most of us had fallen asleep, we had closed our eyes. There was a noise, like a tire bursting,” a fellow passenger told Radio Thessaloniki.

“We immediately realized there had been a decompression. There were screams … for a moment I thought someone had accidentally opened the emergency door,” the woman said. “The masks dropped and there was a strong smell. The head and shoulders of one passenger were outside the window. Fortunately, he hadn’t taken off his seat belt.”

Other passengers near the man helped to pull him in, she said.

Video circulating on social media, which CBS News could not independently verify, purportedly showed the inside of the plane after the incident, with a broken window and oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling, but no passengers visible.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) told CBS News they were aware of the incident and would support the investigation.

“We are in contact with the FAA as state of design of the aircraft as well as the engine manufacturer,” the EASA said in a statement. “We will follow the situation closely as more information emerges and take any continued airworthiness action needed to ensure safety.”

The FAA said in a statement that it “stands ready” to support local authorities and the NTSB in the investigation and confirmed the passenger jet was a U.S.-made Boeing aircraft.

“The Boeing 737-800 returned safely to Thessaloniki Airport in Greece, Friday, July 10 around 7:10 a.m. local time after experiencing a broken window,’ the FAA said.

A woman died in a similar sounding incident in the U.S. in 2018, and an aviation expert told CBS News at the time that it is possible for a person to be sucked out of a plane window in flight if they aren’t wearing a seatbelt, due to the “incredible amount of pressure trying to rush out of that small opening.”

Greek media reported the incident had occurred over North Macedonia, and said the window had been broken by a piece of debris that detached from one of the plane’s engines.

Ryanair said in a statement that the flight “returned to Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff when a passenger window detached during the flight. The aircraft landed normally and the passengers returned to the terminal.”

A replacement aircraft was made available to transport the remaining passengers to Memmingen, the Irish carrier said.

建屋局规划吉门营房和斜阳大道 采纳绿色组织多项建议

建屋发展局在规划吉门营房和金文泰斜阳大道的新住宅区时，征询了绿色组织的意见，并采纳了大部分的建议。受访的绿色组织反映，这显示当局已尽可能在发展和保护环境之间取得平衡。

绿色组织LepakinSG创办人何翔天，以及新加坡自然协会保育小组成员陈精祥受访时表示，乐见建屋局考虑到维护绿化与生态连通性的重要，但也指出须长时间观察，才会知道这些应对措施是否有效。

陈精祥针对斜阳大道（Sunset Way）的计划指出，被保留区域仍有一些大树，对鸟类继续是重要的绿地连接点。不过，由于绿地面积缩小，又与住宅区相邻，这里日后将不适合鸟类觅食或筑巢。

像穿山甲等地栖动物，也可能面对这些问题，在移动方面遇到一些困难。他解释，地栖动物未必会沿着保留绿地移动，而可能偏离预设的轨道。

陈精祥认为，新组屋邻里完工后，还需长时间进行观察，了解动植物的情况，才能真正看出规划时所拟定的应对措施是否发挥效用。若有不足之处，这些经验可运用在日后的发展规划上。

何翔天希望建屋局可更进一步增强绿地之间的连通性。“建屋局可确保毗邻的发展项目，例如吉门营房（Gillman Barracks）和隔着一条马路的柏拉雅住宅区，会推行互补的绿地连通措施。”

自然爱好者希望政府考虑保留更大面积树林

绿地连通性对动植物的生存至关重要。陈精祥建议当局日后分享更长远的发展计划，绿色组织就能提出更全面的建议。像马裕树林附近还有其他树林与绿地，若这些区域日后也会开发，绿色组织就会更大范围地研究连通性问题。

他说：“由于我们的树林碎片化，从宏观视角把不同的栖息地连接起来是非常重要的。如果能更全面地研究，而不仅仅在不同时间点关注个别发展项目的绿地连通性，会比较理想。”

自然爱好者利国伟得知建屋局计划开发马裕树林，在脸书发文，希望政府能考虑保留更大面积的树林，或尽可能延迟开发计划。

利国伟说：“这片树林不仅仅是一棵棵树木。它是一个活的生态系统、一个野生动物庇护处、一片历史文化景观，也是一个户外学堂，子孙后代可以在这里继续体验、欣赏和学习新加坡的自然遗产。”

他还指出，马裕树林虽是一片次生林，但其中大片区域在过去40至50年间基本未受干扰，让丰富而复杂的生态系统得以自然恢复和茂盛。这片树林如今已成为野生动物和多种生物的重要栖息地，也是展现大自然如何在时间和空间的庇护下自我修复的鲜活例证。

吉门营房和斜阳大道的环境影响评估报告书，已在建屋局网站上发布。公众可最迟于8月6日针对报告书内容提供反馈。

两处绿地都有具保育价值动植物

根据环评报告，两处绿地都有具保育价值的动植物。当局在开发绿地前须拟定必要的应对措施，包括移植植物、在施工期间实行环境监测与管理计划，以及设计生态友好的行人过道等，从而把对环境的影响降至最低。

马裕树林里发现极度濒危的庚大利（Bouea macrophylla）、皱叶厚壳桂（Cryptocarya rugulosa）和孔斯黄檀（Dalbergia junghuhnii）等乔木，以及同样具保育价值的海檬树（Cerbera odollam）和达达赫面包果（Artocarpus dadah）等。

在吉门营房发现的极度濒危植物则有波缘榕（Ficus sinuata）和见血封喉树（Antiaris toxicaria）。

两处也都发现了全球极度濒危的黄冠鹎（Straw-headed Bulbul）。两份环评报告也分别记录了在本地属于易危物种的马来渔鸮（Buffy Fish-owl）、凤头鹰雕（Changeable Hawk-eagle）、鹊鸲（Oriental magpie-robin）、紫金鹃（Violet cuckoo）等鸟类。

美国总统特朗普说，美国已同意继续与伊朗进行谈判，但重申两国之间的停火协议已经结束。

特朗普星期五（7月10日）在其社交媒体“真相社交”上发帖称：“伊朗要求我们继续‘谈判’。我们同意了，但美国已明确告知他们，停火协议已经结束！”

此前，路透社引述消息人士说，卡塔尔谈判代表已抵达伊朗，与伊朗官员会面，力图缓和紧张局势，并为继续开展更广泛的谈判创造条件。

消息人士还说，此次会谈是在与美国协调下进行的。会谈旨在讨论美伊谅解备忘录的执行情况，以及引发近期华盛顿和德黑兰之间局势升级的问题，包括霍尔木兹海峡的航行争端。

Parents of Nolan Wells, teen found dead on island, don’t believe he chose to stay behind: “That’s not his character”

July 10, 2026 / 9:55 AM EDT / CBS News

By Mark Osborne

The parents of Mississippi teen Nolan Wells, who was found dead after going missing following an outing on Horn Island on the Fourth of July, said they don’t believe their son would’ve stayed behind on the island by choice when his friends left by boat.

“No, he wouldn’t. Nolan always stays with the group,” Elmore Wonsley, Nolan’s father, told “CBS Mornings.” “If you be with me, you come back with me. So that I don’t understand, and with me being a parent, if I was in that situation, I would have told them, ‘You’re going to get back on this boat with me because I don’t want to answer to your parents if something happens to you.’”

When directly asked if he believed Nolan was left behind on the island, his father responded, “Yes. I don’t believe he decided to stay on the island by himself. It just doesn’t— that’s not his character.”

Nolan Wells, 18, was found dead after spending the Fourth of July celebrating with friends on Horn Island, Miss. Jackson County Sheriff’s Department

Wells, 18, was last seen on July 4 on Horn Island, where he had taken a boat trip with friends to celebrate the holiday, officials said. Wells traveled to the island with his friends on Saturday but did not return to the mainland with them that afternoon, Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter said.

He was last seen on the island at 3 p.m., according to attorney Ben Crump’s office. His mother reported him missing later that night and a search began.

His body was discovered Monday off the coast of the island, which is about 10 miles south of the Mississippi mainland, following a search that involved the U.S. Coast Guard, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the National Park Service.

Dental records confirmed the body was Wells, Jackson County coroner Bruce Lynd told CBS News. An autopsy took place Tuesday, Lynd said, but the results were not immediately made public.

Wells’ body has now been flown to Washington, D.C., for an independent autopsy, according to Crump. Former NFL star and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick facilitated the flight, Crump said.

Ledbetter told The Associated Press that Wells’ friends were cooperating with the investigation.

“There are so many glaring contradictions, that’s why so many people all across America are chiming in, saying this is not adding up,” Crump told “CBS Mornings.” “I mean, you have his friends say he was talking to a young lady, and she said that he said, ‘I’m going to get back on the boat with the boys.’ The boys say, ‘He said that no, I’m going to stay with her.’ I mean, which is it?”

Wells’ mother, Christine, said her son’s phone was with one of his friends who had returned from the island and they went and retrieved it. She believes Snapchat messages were deleted from the phone because there were no photos or videos on the account.

“I know when kids get together for events like that, they’s Snapping,” Christine Wonsley said. “They are making videos, taking pictures, and I’m just like, ‘Where is it?’ Because it hadn’t been 24 hours when we started looking, which usually, with Snapchat, it goes away once you hit that 24-hour mark.”

Ledbetter previously told CBS News that investigators were hoping to identify the original poster of a videohttps://www.instagram.com/reel/Dadt2WrBZVL/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet in which arguing can be heard in the background. Crump said independent investigators are looking into whether a voice heard on the video arguing with someone about taking his cellphone is the voice of Wells.

Crump and the Rev. Al Sharpton are expected to hold a press conference with Wells’ parents at noon on Friday to discuss the case and call for a full investigation.

Wells went to Ocean Springs High School and was a rising sophomore on Southwest Mississippi Community College’s football team. Crump said Wells was a good swimmer.

北京暴雨料持续40小时 73家养老机构关停全部老人转移

2026年7月10日 23:41 / 联合早报

7月10日晚，北京市民在雨中出行。当日，北京暴雨橙色预警生效中。 （中新社）

中国首都北京市的暴雨预计将持续40小时，官方称“致灾性强，具有一定极端性”。在去年7月的洪灾导致一家养老院逾30人死亡后，北京为应对本轮暴雨，已关停73家养老机构，转移全部老人至安全区域；全市共转移逾10万人。

中共北京市委机关报《北京日报》星期五（7月10日）晚从北京市防汛办获悉，截至当晚9时，北京全市共关闭181家旅游景区，167家帐篷露营地、4311家乡村民宿暂停营业；73家养老机构因雨关停，养老机构的老人已全部转移至安全区域；全市共转移3万8114户、10万2859人。

北京市气象台介绍，根据最新预报，星期五夜间至星期六（11日）夜间，北京有暴雨、局地大暴雨，降雨过程持续时间约40小时，累计降雨量大。其中，明显降雨时段集中在星期五夜间和星期六夜间，最大小时雨强可达50至100毫米，致灾性强，具有一定极端性。

当局提醒，山区发生山洪、泥石流、塌方等地质灾害风险高，城市低洼地区易造成积水。这些气象灾害风险需提前做好应对准备，最大限度降低暴雨及其次生灾害带来的隐患。

北京去年7月的暴雨洪涝灾害造成重大人员伤亡。官方当时通报称，持续七天的极端强降雨引发灾情，因灾死亡44人，其中密云区太师屯镇养老照料中心就有32人遇难。

中国官方今年6月公布有关灾害调查评估报告。调查评估认定，密云太师屯镇养老照料中心大量人员伤亡事件是由于清水河流域持续遭遇强降雨，干支流洪峰叠加，引发超历史记录特大洪水，涌入养老照料中心造成的特别重大自然灾害。灾害也暴露出密云区党委和政府及有关部门单位在防范和应对处置过程中存在的一些问题不足，包括密云区委原书记余卫国在内的17名公职人员被问责。

逾九成新加坡人自认家庭坚韧 认同照顾父母为己任

逾九成新加坡人认为自己的家庭坚韧，并具备对抗逆境和克服挑战的能力。

社会及家庭发展部去年访问3000名满15岁公民和永久居民，星期五（7月10日）发布的2026年《家庭趋势报告》数据显示，90.7%受访者的家庭韧性得分介于中等偏高水平，比2023年的85.9%来得高。值得注意的是，家庭韧性得分处于高水平的家庭，去年占34.3%，比2023年的25.1%明显增高。

对于家庭韧性指数，问卷调查采用一套名为“华许家庭韧性问卷”（Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire）的评估工具。主要指标为家庭对克服逆境的信念有多高、是否具备灵活应对挑战的能力和资源，以及是否掌握沟通与解决问题的能力。

社会及家庭发展部长马善高星期五在全国家庭节答谢活动上致辞时，宣布报告数据。他对本地家庭维持坚韧和紧密关系表示欣慰。

报告指出，愿意给予家人财务、情绪支持，以及生活照料支援的受访者，往往对自己家庭韧性也有较高的评估。

随着本地社会老龄化，看护需求增加，马善高乐见多数国人仍愿意为家人提供所需的援助。他强调，社会及家庭发展部会继续同社区伙伴合作，协助加强本地家庭的韧性和跨代之间的联系。

看护者与非看护者满意家庭关系比率相似

最新的《家庭趋势报告》也透露本地人口老龄化趋势。

数据显示，本地居民住户中，65岁及以上年长居民过去10年大幅度增加，从2015年的46万零900人，增至去年的76万8800人。

这些年长居民中，八成与配偶或子女同住，当中也包括与配偶和子女同住者。独居的年长者去年达8万8400人，约占65岁及以上年长居民的11.5%，人数比2015年增加超过一倍；对比2024年，则略增约1.38%。

与配偶同住，但无子女的年长者，从2014年的10万7300人，增至去年的22万2800人，占65岁及以上年长居民约29%。

报告指出，去年，15岁至64岁受访者中，95.2%认同照顾父母应当是他们的责任，比2023年93.1%增多，显示多数家庭依然认真看待奉养年长父母的责任。

然而，报告也引述国家福利理事会另一份调查，即2025年《生活质量研究》指出，看护者对整体生活质量的自我评估，比非看护者低。看护者对家庭支持的满意度，也比非看护者来得低。尽管如此，无论是看护者或非看护者，对于家庭关系感到满意的比率相似。

社会及家庭发展部指出，这或显示，看护者虽希望获得更多家庭支持，但他们对自己与家人的关系的满意度，与非看护者是相似的。

另一方面，社会及家庭发展部星期五个别与五个机构，即万态保育集团、麦当劳新加坡、全国职工总会妇女与家庭事务处、新捷运，以及渣打银行签署谅解备忘录，携手扩展各项亲家庭项目及活动，协助本地家庭加强韧性和增进亲子互动。

AI投资狂潮之下 科技巨头债务规模翻倍

2026年7月10日 23:54 / 联合早报

AI数据中心投资狂潮推高科技巨头债务，但亚马逊发债遇冷、甲骨文评级遭降，显示市场对AI融资热潮开始转趋谨慎。 （路透社）

全球大举建设人工智能数据中心的科技巨头在过去五年将债务规模扩大了一倍。为了支撑一场前所未有的资本支出狂潮，这些公司纷纷举债融资，并认为这是推动经济转型所必需的。

根据彭博社汇编的数据，美国数据中心投资规模最大的五家公司 ——Alphabet Inc.、亚马逊、Meta Platforms Inc.、微软和甲骨文 —— 过去五年合计新增债务约3500亿美元（近4518亿新元）。

这些公司押注，前沿人工智能（AI）服务终将带来可观的新收入。投资者此前一直热捧这些企业，积极认购其发行的各种币种债券。

不过，据知情人士向彭博透露，亚马逊本周250亿美元债券发行却遭遇了不同寻常的冷遇，显示资本市场承接科技巨头持续融资以支持AI投资的能力并非无限。

对于其中大多数盈利能力极强的公司而言，举债成本目前仍相对有限。上述五家公司去年的利息支出合计在100亿美元以上，较2019年增加了一倍多，但与其中一家公司的自由现金流相比，仍显得微不足道。

以谷歌为例，截至3月底，其经营活动现金流扣除资本开支后的自由现金流达到640亿美元。

然而，并非所有公司的财务状况都同样稳健。亚马逊截至3月31日当季的自由现金流转为负值；甲骨文的现金消耗预计还将进一步加快，其2025年债务规模约为全年销售额的2.5倍。

标普星期四（7月9日）将甲骨文的信用评级下调至投资级中的最低一级，提到该公司持续扩大的人工智能投资支出。

Marco Rubio steps in after Tim Walz pardoned illegal alien child rapist before deportation

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Digital that Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of illegal alien criminals

DHS accuses Gov. Walz of pardoning convicted child rapist, preventing deportation

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is accused by DHS of pardoning Tou Lue Vang, an illegal immigrant convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. This pardon effectively wipes out Vang’s criminal record, shielding him from deportation. Fox News hosts and guests discuss the implications of this decision and broader concerns about immigration policies and birth tourism in the U.S.

EXCLUSIVE:An illegal alien child rapist from Laos who was set for deportation until Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the State Board of Pardons granted him clemency has been removed from the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Digital.

Rubio stepped in to terminate Tue Lue Vang’s legal status in the U.S. and ensure that Walz’s actions would not create roadblocks for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) removing him from the country.

“Just weeks ago, a foreign child rapist was freed to once again endanger America’s children after receiving a pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,” Rubio said. “Tue Lue Vang admitted to committing heinous crimes against a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota. He attempted to pay his victim for her silence and dismissed his acts of child abuse as a ‘minor thing.’”

“Just days before he was scheduled to be deported, the Minnesota Governor pardoned him, setting him free to endanger American families once again,” Rubio lamented.

Vang was convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He repeatedly raped the girl between 2002 and 2004, and told authorities after he was arrested that “it is a cultural thing… to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12.”

Rubio told Fox News Digital, “Americans should never have to live in fear that foreign sex predators —shielded from deportation by their own elected officials — could endanger them or their children.”

“That’s why I terminated his legal status in the United States,” he continued. “Vang has now been removed from our country and will never pose a threat to any American ever again.”

Minnesota’s Board of Pardons is composed of Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and state Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, who let Vang off the hook on June 10.

The nine-member Minnesota Clemency Review Commission (CRC) recommended the pardon to the board.

“Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction,” a CRC member said in a letter to Vang informing him of his clemency.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) feared at the time that the move to pardon Vang would shield the criminal illegal alien from deportation.

“Governor Tim Walz’s decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said at the time. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting.”

Walz said at the time that Vang had become a “critical member of the community” since his release from prison, and falsely referred to him as a “citizen” of the United States.

“I can find no reason how Minnesota will be safer or better if Mr. Vang is deported to a country he has not been to since he was a child,” Walz said of the convicted child rapist. “I do not see how it would serve his family, nor the economic interest where we have a taxpaying citizen who is creating job growth and living a life free from any criminal activity.

Pentagon releases new batch of UFO files: “Unlike anything I had seen”

July 10, 2026 / 11:22 AM EDT / CBS News

By Stefan Becket Managing Editor, Digital Politics

Washington — The Pentagon on Friday released a new batch of files related to UFOs, also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena, including one report from a military aviator who said a mysterious object was “unlike anything I had seen” in 28 years of service.

Friday’s release includes a total of 40 files — 14 documents, 19 videos, four audio files and three images. The files come from a variety of agencies: the Pentagon, NASA, CIA, FBI and Energy Department.

The Pentagon posted the new files on its UFO website, which houses the material that has been released under an executive order that President Trump signed earlier this year.

What’s in the new UFO files?

The disclosure is similar to past releases — a mix of mostly unredacted historical documents and videos with other files detailing more recent events.

One notable file from the Energy Department details an intrusion by an unidentified object into the airspace over a nuclear weapons facility known as Pantex near Amarillo, Texas, in September 2015. The document includes the account of two officers who chased the object as the nuclear facility was placed on lockdown.

“Although they were unable to catch up to the object, they stopped their vehicle and got out. Once outside, they noted that the object did not make any sound. Furthermore, the officers stated that they were unable to identify any type of propulsion system on the object while using binoculars to assess the object,” the report said. “After viewing it for 1-2 minutes, the object then continued north offsite.”

About half the files are dated from 2010 or later, with videos showing infrared footage captured by military cameras. The grainy images show unexplained objects and encounters from around the world, including over the western Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic and the Middle East.

One of those incidents occurred over the Atlantic in 2020. The files include footage of an object that “was a darker, maroonish color, approximately 12-15ft in height,” according to an accompanying report by a Navy crew member, which is heavily redacted.

“Structurally, it appeared as a large, somewhat deformed balloon, but we were unable to verify that as we passed at the merge,” the weapons systems officer wrote, followed by two redacted lines. “We then proceeded back to the ship, landing uneventfully.”

The report is known as a “range fouler debrief,” which the Pentagon described as “a standardized reporting form the U.S. Navy uses to record the circumstances surrounding an unauthorized intrusion into controlled airspace during active military operations or training.”

Another debrief documented an object that an aviator saw in 2019 over the Eastern U.S., along with four other personnel.

“I noticed an object with flight characteristics unlike anything I had seen in my 28 years of performing for the Air Force and Navy,” the aviator wrote. “A small object was below us and appeared to be traveling in a straight line opposite our direction at high speed. I tracked it for ~10-15 seconds before we turned on the recorder to provide the attached video. When I zoomed in to try and achieve more resolution, the object’s speed took out of my FOV and I was unable to reacquire, even at a lower zoom. Upon analysis after the flight, the object appeared to be rectangular. Others with equal or more experience were also unsure as to what this object might be.”

The video of the incident shows what appears to be an object traveling at high speed:

The most recent events described in the fourth batch of files came in 2025 near China, under the military’s Indo-Pacific Command. One video shows a military sensor tracking “an area of contrast resembling a six-pointed star” over the Yellow Sea. Another seems to track an object over the East China Sea for several minutes.

The historical records include the transcript of a 1949 conference in Los Alamos, New Mexico, of top physicists and scientists, including those who worked on the Manhattan Project. The conference attendees tried and failed to explain “green fireballs” that had been spotted over the nuclear lab. One theory held that they were meteors entering the atmosphere, but a prominent astronomer noted that “nothing like this … has ever been observed in the case of meteorite drops.”

The Pentagon said Friday’s release is not the last disclosure under the president’s executive order. “The Department of War and our agency partners are actively working on the next release of UAP files,” spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.
